Hyphenation

Hyphenate words written entirely in capital letters, such as initialisms.

Hyphenate the last word of paragraphs. Disabling this feature prevents the creation of almost empty lines containing only half a word.

Deselect this check box to prevent last full line of a paragraph from being hyphenated. The hyphenated word is moved to the next line if there is enough space for it. As a result, the last line of the paragraph becomes longer, reducing the blank space between paragraphs.

Enter the minimum number of characters to leave at the end of the line before a hyphen is inserted.

Enter the minimum number of characters that must appear at the beginning of the line after the hyphen.

Enter the maximum number of consecutive lines that can be hyphenated.

Set 3 (or more) characters to improve the hyphenation in Danish, Dutch, German, Hungarian, Norwegian and Swedish by preferring the hyphenation between constituents of a compound word instead of breaking the second (third etc.) constituent right after its first 2 characters.

Enter the minimum word length in characters that can be hyphenated.

To reduce hyphenation, enter the length of the hyphenation zone. Instead of the possible hyphenation, the line will break between words, if the remaining horizontal space does not exceed the hyphenation zone. Hyphenation zone results in enlarged spaces between words in justified text, and greater distance from paragraph margins in non-justified text.
